Go to most popular.

You go to most popular, and then seven down from Barry Corbin, that's me.

And that's dealt with in the scene that Tony was mentioning earlier with.

his kinsmen, the crippled guy who'd been shot, played by Barry Corbin in the film, very excellently, by the way, who tells him in a tone of accusation or says in a tone of accusation, I hear you're quitting, right? Not retiring, but quitting.

And it's, I think the question is very much like an accusation and he looks ashamed for Ed Tom Bell and Bell seems pretty sheepish about it in that scene.

And he says, you know, I, I, that he says, I don't know how to deal with what I'm dealing with now or what I'm confronting now.

And that storyline—because it was interesting.

We had Andy and Diane on last week, and I was talking about that I felt a little bit that Barry Corbin, Maurice's character— wasn't really always flushed out.

You know, it was kind of stereotypical.

But boy, and whammy, you know, here we are with a new episode, which we definitely have not peaked as we talked about a few weeks ago, with Maurice having this huge moral dilemma about what to do when his son comes home with the enemy's, you know, daughter, granddaughter, whatever she was.

Every episode, I watch one of these movies with my friend Nick Casalini.

Afterwards, Nick and I talk about the film and then call the man himself, my dad, Barry Corbin, to ask him about it and get some stories.

Each episode weaves together the conversation I have with Nick and the conversation I have with my dad a- as I do my best to honor his career in film, while also at times poking fun at him.

On today's episode, we watch 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon.

It's an epic crime drama starring Scorsese muses Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio with powerhouse Lily Gladstone.

Directed by the irreplaceable Martin Scorsese, the film was based on a 2017 novel by David Grann and adapted for screen by Eric Roth and Martin Scorsese.

Um, I was like, wow, I haven't seen that guy in forever.

And then I guess Barry Corbin was the other.

Yes.

And Barry Corbin character actor forever.

I

was like, that's Barry Corbin.

I exclaimed actually during the film, but what a fucking movie.

It was fun.

It's got a good cast.

It's got Holland Taylor, Natalie Martinez, who was on Bad Monkey, and Barry Corbin from Northern Exposure.

I'll give it a shot.

I'll give it a flyer.

These are people, actors in movies, go by their instinct or intuition.

Number one, Barry Corbin.

When you see him, you know him from many movies, but his defining part was as Maurice Minifield on Northern Exposure.

He was also in Urban Cowboy, Stir Crazy, War Games, and in episodes of Yellowstone and Tulsa King.

His go-with-the-gut movie, No Country for Old Men.

Llewellyn Moss survives in the wilderness and evades a sociopathic hitman, not through grand strategy, but by trusting his immediate animal instincts, hunter's reflex, and gut-level reactions to danger.

Number one, Barry Corbin.

Number two, Jenny Agutter.
